another first...

Micah is sick for the first time...

it's really hard to see him be so miserable... he had this terrible cough (still does a bit) and he'll kind of whimper after every cough cause it hurts, he probably feels like crying and screaming but that would hurt his throat, too so he doesn't... but he's such a trooper, he keeps smiling and being a really good kid, it's a little funny actually how he will cough and whimper and then laugh and clap his hands together.

and he is out growing all of his clothes so fast... he can finally fit into the little blue outfit his grandmother bought for him with the writing on the shirt that says "just hand me the cookie jar and no one will get hurt"

Micah is really getting into reading, too (although you wouldn't know it from these pictures cause he is staring into the bright light of the camera) but we got him this new book all about Jesus and he likes it a lot.

new sneakers for a new season!

Micah was pumped to break in his new kicks...

the Red Sox figure to be the team to beat again, so we figured it was time to get Micah ready for the season... seriously though, when you think about it, what good are shoes for a kid who isn't walking yet? I mean, Micah can almost crawl... but what's he need shoes for? And it seems as though Micah inherited McMannus feet (and no, I'm not talking about fungus, as some of you dear people so sincerely refer to as "Joe Toe"...) cause he has huge arches in his feet that make it almost impossible to find shoes that fit him, and if the shoe does fit the foot then it does so without socks..... well, if nothing else, he sure looks cute in his sneakers!
